Mr. SANDHAM
asked the Prime Minister whether the Government will reconsider its decision regarding the voluntary retirement of aged workers in view of the increase in the number of unemployed?
The PRIME MINISTER
(Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)
I have nothing to add to the previous replies on this subject
Mr. SANDHAM
May I ask whether this matter has or has not been before the sub-committee, whether that sub-committee has met, and, if it has come to a conclusion, what are the findings of the Cabinet in respect to that matter?
The PRIME MINISTER
The matter is not settled.
Sir W. BRASS
Is it not a fact that the right hon. Gentleman promised work or maintenance just before the last election?
The PRIME MINISTER
That is exactly our policy.
